Psalms 104:1-13 ▼

1 My soul, bless the LORD! LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with majesty and splendor.

2 He wraps himself in light as if it were a robe, spreading out the sky like a canopy,

3 laying the beams of his palace on the waters above, making the clouds his chariot, walking on the wings of the wind,

4 and making the winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants.

5 He established the earth on its foundations; it will never be shaken.

6 You covered it with the deep as if it were a garment; the water stood above the mountains.

7 At your rebuke the water fled; at the sound of your thunder they hurried away —

8 mountains rose and valleys sank — to the place you established for them.

9 You set a boundary they cannot cross; they will never cover the earth again.

10 He causes the springs to gush into the valleys; they flow between the mountains.

11 They supply water for every wild beast; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 The birds of the sky live beside the springs; they make their voices heard among the foliage.

13 He waters the mountains from his palace; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of your labor.
